I don't really believe in the myth of being poor but happy. At the poorest times in my life, I wasn't happy. I was just hungry.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Though I knew that poverty certainly didn't buy happiness, I wasn't convinced that money did, either.
Poor but happy is not a phrase invented by a poor person.
The data says that with the poor, a little money can buy a lot of happiness. If you're rich, a lot of money can buy you a little more happiness. But in both cases, money does it.
You don't seem to realize that a poor person who is unhappy is in a better position than a rich person who is unhappy. Because the poor person has hope. He thinks money would help.
It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed.
Just because you're born in a privileged family and have money doesn't mean you're happy. Happiness you can't buy. Happiness is something you need to work for.

I was poor. When you're poor you work, and when you're rich you expect somebody to hand it to you. So I think being reasonably poor is very good for people.
Happy is harder than money. Anybody who thinks money will make you happy hasn't got money.
I always was a rich person because money's not related to happiness.
